 "In Sheep's Clothing"

I couldn't resist capturing this humorous, almost innocent pose by this Praying Mantis.

"The Veil"...

What I enjoy most about this photograph is the wispy veil of clouds that sweep diagonally across this scene. Most of you may recognize this tree, as it is the winning photograph of the Ron Howard film. I'm glad I have many photographs of this tree as lightning struck this several years ago.

"Blue Jay Paused"...

Normally, we think of blue jays as vibrant and loud with bold personalities.  What I like about this photograph, is the blue jay is pausing for a quiet moment, as if reflecting.
